I really wanted to see more with criminal joker. The implication that I got was that these three jokers represented the different eras of the joker: criminal was the original one from the golden age, clown was silver/bronze age goofy joker, and the comedian was the modern age. Also too, if you look at the protagonist used, each one kinda has a personal connection to each. The comedian shot batgirl. The clown killed Jason. And the criminal has been the one fighting Batman since the beginning. I get everyone loves the killing joke joker, but I was really hoping the criminal would be the one to come out of this

What I've learned is that: Jim Gordon is a bad detective, barbara Gordon is equally bad at disguises, and Batman asks really bad questions when given the chance to ask a magical piece of furniture a question. Oh, and also I've learned that at least one of the three jokers has a CDL. Good for him. We have a truck driver shortage in this country. I finally made it to the end of the video, and I've also learned that Batgirl has experienced what I assume every woman experiences, which is that you try to be emotionally available and supportive to someone you care about, and that person thinks that you want a boyfriend. Good job, Jason.

The idea that Joker is just an identity used by multiple different people and that you never know which one is behind what plot sounds interesting. But it also feels like it makes Joker less unique. In a way I think I like the idea that he is just one crazy guy who routinely reinvents himself is better.

@@megamanzeroist Wait. So this storyline is precluded by Batman asking the Mobius Chair what the Joker's real name is, and it ends with the reveal he knew the Joker's real name a week after they met? I'm really getting tired of the comic book industry setting up events before they even plan them out. Remember how before Doomsday Clock, the Superman comics showed that Jor-El had been rescued by Doctor Manhattan and brought to earth? And how actual Doomsday Clock made it clear that's not what happened in the slightest? Because they wrote the former to tease the latter before they even knew what the latter's story was gonna be?

*Alan Moore:* No one knows who Joker is including Joker. Here's a possible origin but let's heavily imply that Joker is making it up and pulling it out his ass and he has 20 different origins on the Back-Burner because the Joker is better if he has no origin. *Geoff Johns:* No the Killing Joke origin is what happened. Here's the the Chemicals, here's the real living Family, here's batman confirming it happend by establishing he already knows this. But its okay if this makes people mad because I said that it doesn't matter and if you think it matters then you're taking this too seriously.

Yes! The art is gorgeous! But the story could've been better. My problem is how Johns makes the Joker's origin known. He was the failed comedian. Personally, I prefer the Joker's origin to be a complete mystery. Johns COMPLETELY missed the point. You're not supposed to know his origin. The idea is that the Joker could've been anyone. A Red Hood, a mobster, a stand-up comic, etc.

Yes but no but yes? If memory serve, after Batman shows the Joker that Gordon was perfectly fine after all the torture in The Killing Joke, disproving Joker's whole "All it takes is one bad day for anybody to be like me and I'll show you!" Batman then said something along the lines of that maybe there was already something wrong with him (Joker) and that's why he (Joker) broke. Maybe Johns read that and referenced it in a completely not-nuanced way by just being like "Oh yeah and also Joker beat his wife or some shit." The panels in the Killing Joke portray him as an average man, and that fight between him and his spouse seemed pretty tame to imply that he was a chronic abuser. But if he was actually a good husband the twist at the end of this book has no pay-off. Or doesn't exist in the first place I guess. So they retconned Joker to be a bad husband so they could shyamalan us at the end, and also to enforce instead of imply that no, Joker was the fucked up one all along in the killing joke, which I don't like personally. Killing Joke victimizes the Joker, implying that the trauma from the accident and his own susceptibility, whatever demons he was fighting off and shit, that's what got him. This removes nuance by implying the Joker was a monster even back then, it removes nuance by saying "No that's literally what happened that is the definitive origin and it is 100% true.... except Moore forgot to mention some things so I'm gonna, ya know, I'm gonna touch this up a little bit. There. Now it's so much better."

I really feel like the story outgrew the initial premise of "three Jokers" and should have just been a story about healing the wounds of Death in the Family, Killing Joke, and the Wayne murders. And I really love that ending twist with Joker's family. Such a clever idea.

The Killing Joke is one of my favorite Batman stories ever. Once a year I reread it, usually on a whim, and discover new, exciting things about Moore and Bolland's masterwork. I just finished reading Three Jokers tonight, having waited a month to pick up the third issue at my LCS. And, I must say, that third issue soured the overall series a little for me. Know that I'm an unapologetic Geoff Johns fanboy. Most of my favorite comic books are written by him: Booster Gold, Doomsday Clock, Rebirth, possibly The Button. Most of his retcons work. This didn't. Joker's origin in Killing Joke, to me, was about how anyone, any normal person, can be transmogrified by chance. By one bad day. People with the best intentions often fall the hardest. By saying that The Joker was an abusive husband before he became The Joker, the original message of Killing Joke is undermined. Now it's not that anybody can become the Joker, but rather, that only shitty people can become the Joker. It's as if Johns is saying, "Don't worry. YOU can't become the Joker!" And, while I somewhat enjoy the idea of Jeannie's survival meaning that Joker's transformation was based off a lie, a bad joke, I don't think that pseudo-poeticism justifies such a blatant disregard for another writer's work. Also, in saying that anyone CAN'T become the Joker, Johns not only undermined the point of Moore's work, but of Three Jokers itself. It didn't help that Issue 3 was the weakest, in my opinion, in terms of writing and art. The clunky layouts and strangely-worded-dialogue on some pages, particularly the fight with the ushers, confused me to the point that the comic was unreadable at its set pace. But, despite all that, I'm glad I read Three Jokers. Despite everything, it's worth the price of admission, even if you, like me, have serious reservations about that last issue. For the most part, it was a beautiful dive into a Gotham I sorely missed, one filled with humanity and grime alike. Pick it up. And read Joker War. That's excellent, too. 4/5. PS: Those collectible playing cards are SO COOL!

The reason why this was disappointing is that people were waiting for it for 4 years, delays which made its place in continuity murky, and in my opinion the ending it provided was anti-climatic. As a standalone story it’s fine enough, but I don’t imagine this will be a seminal story.

Honestly, I enjoyed this book for what it was. I was never on the hype train for this story because I knew it couldn't live up to 4 years of hype. But I thought it was a solid, stand alone story with gorgeous and triumphant art. A few of the protagonists are most definitely not in character (Jason), but for the most part it's a great Batman/Joker story. The unnecessary retcons to The Killing Joke and A Death In the Family were sigh inducing, but not egregious to me. I would rate it a 9/10 Solely based upon Fabok's masterful art.

I still have yet to make my mind up on how I feel about this book. This episode though was really good, love you guys discussing any of these bigger topics that effect the industry. One thing that still makes no sense to me though is the Comedian's vision/hallucination at the start of issue 2. I get the idea that maybe there's a longing for a normal life or for what he lost, but why would he create a vision in his head about his wife and child being scared of him and not wanting to come downstairs? Why is the vision of the house so specific? I also wonder why in Joe Chill's cell there are photographs on the wall that all mirror elements of said vision (the same car as is on Chill's cell wall is parked outside the house for example). Comedian's vision of what his son would look like is also SPOT ON - down to the haircut. Perhaps this is all hinting that the Comedian found out about his wife and son? Maybe that's why he imagines they'd be scared of him - because he knows they really are? I dunno, it's a weird one. Also, I think the whole thing about the Clown getting details about Jason's death wrong isn't a mistake, but hints that he wasn't ACTUALLY responsible for Death in the Family - he was just parroting off misremembered details that the Comedian told him (Comedian even takes credit for the whole thing in Issue 2, as you guys mentioned).

@@HOTD108_ I would posit that perhaps due to the severe brain damage that perhaps Jason's memory of the event is a little fuzzy. Maybe he can't remember all the details. Also, besides the "I'll be your Robin" thing, it wouldn't make sense for him to correct Joker on much else. "Ummm actually it wasn't a shallow grave you left me in, you blew me up after beating me soooo"

Okay so now that I've finished the episode; My favorite part of this story that you didn't really touch on are the nods to Batman 1989. Though the logo is different, the bat suit is basically Keaton's suit (look at the utility belt), the Batmobile is very much modeled in that fashion, the two thugs that Jason beats up in book two are modeled after the thugs from the opening scene of 89 who Bruce wants to tell their friends about him, and you could even argue that the idea of turning Joe Chill into the Joker is an allusion to Jack Napier being both the murderer of the Waynes and The Joker in that movie. Johns and Fabok go for some real deep cuts and I'd love to know which were Johns' direction and which were Fabok's own artistic choices. I'd love to see Fabok on the Elseworlds Exchange.
